Transition-metal dithiolene complexes have interesting structures and fascinating redox properties, making them promising candidates for a number of applications, including superconductors, photonic devices, chemical sensors, and catalysts. However, not enough is known about the molecular electronic origins of these properties. Multinuclear solid-state NMR spectroscopy and first-principles calculations are used to examine the molecular and electronic structures of the redox series [Pt(tfd)2]z– (tfd ) S2C2(CF3)2; z ) 0, 1, 2; the anionic species have [NEt4]+ countercations). Single-crystal X-ray structures for the neutral (z ) 0) and the fully reduced forms (z ) 2) were obtained. The two species have very similar structures but differ slightly in their intraligand bond lengths. 19F-195Pt CP/CPMG and 195Pt magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR experiments are used to probe the diamagnetic (z ) 0, 2) species, revealing large platinum chemical shielding anisotropies (CSA) with distinct CS tensor properties, despite the very similar structural features of these species. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to rationalize the large platinum CSAs and CS tensor orientations of the diamagnetic species using molecular orbital (MO) analysis, and are used to explain their distinct molecular electronic structures in the context of the NMR data. The paramagnetic species (z ) 1) is examined using both EPR spectroscopy and 13C and 19F MAS NMR spectroscopy. Platinum g-tensor components were determined by using solid-state EPR experiments. The unpaired electron spin densities at 13C and 19F nuclei were measured by employing variable-temperature 13C and 19F NMR experiments. DFT and ab initio calculations are able to qualitatively reproduce the experimentally measured g-tensor components and spin densities. The combination of experimental and theoretical data confirm localization of unpaired electron density in the π-system of the dithiolene rings. Introduction Charge transfer materials have attracted much attention since the introduction of “organic metals” because they are less dense than ceramic or metal materials and their electrical properties can easily be manipulated by small changes in the organic structure.1-3 Square planar transition-metal bisdithiolene complexes have frontier orbitals analogous to some “organic metals,” and as a result possess similar properties (i.e., the numbers of orbitals, as well as their symmetries, approximate energies, and shapes, are analogous to those of tetrathiofulvalene (TTF) and tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ)).4 Transition-metal dithiolene complexes have been the focus of numerous studies because of their unique electronic characteristics, range of stable oxidation states and ability to adopt linear, chainlike structures in the solid state.5 The nickel triad (Ni, Pd, Pt) metal complexes have received much attention, since an electron-transfer series exists where the members are separated by a reversible oneelectron step process.6 The redox chemistry is essentially ligand based, and the metal center remains in the oxidation state (II) * To whom correspondence should be addressed.

throughout (Scheme 1).7 In addition to superconductors, these systems are proposed to be useful in photonic devices, chemical sensors, and catalytic processes. The series [M(S2C2R2)2]z- (M ) Ni, Pd, Pt; z ) 0, 1, 2) has been studied extensively, since the neutral species are known to be powerful oxidants in the presence of strong electron-withdrawing substituents. For example, [Ni(S2C2R2)2] (R ) CN, CF3) has a highly positive potential of electron transfer (ca. +1.0 V), whereas when R ) Ph, it is much less oxidizing (+0.33 V).9 The highly oxidizing compounds, such as [Ni(S2C2(CF3)2)2], possess the intriguing and mechanistically complex ability to bind to simple olefins in an unconventional manner involving the sulfur centers.10,11 This compound, and related ones, may have great promise for electrochemical separation and purification of olefins. An unusual feature of the metal bisdithiolenes is their ligandbased redox chemistry. When charge-neutral complexes [M(S2C2R2)2] are reduced, electrons are accepted into orbitals that are mainly ligand based, and the redox state of the metal is largely unaffected.9 As expected, electron-withdrawing substituents increase the driving force for reduction. Such highpotential species are also predicted to exhibit stronger bonding to alkenes.12 In terms of structural characterization of highpotential [M(S2C2R2)2]z- compounds, there are a limited number of single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies due to difficulties in isolating crystalline solids.5,13,14 Electron paramagnetic resonance

(EPR), IR, and UV/vis spectroscopy have also been used for structural characterization; however, EPR is restricted to paramagnetic samples while only limited information is available from the latter techniques.15,16 Solid-state NMR (SSNMR) spectroscopy provides an alternative and/or complementary method for investigating both the molecular and electronic structures of metal-bisdithiolene compounds. In diamagnetic samples, SSNMR of the central metal nucleus can provide rich information on the electronic structure.17 Given that M ) Ni, Pd, or Pt for the [M(S2C2R2)2]z(z ) 0, 1, 2) series, the obvious choice is 195Pt (spin I ) 1/2), since 61Ni and 105Pd are extremely unreceptive quadrupolar nuclei, due not only to their low gyromagnetic ratios but also their low natural abundance and large nuclear quadrupole moment, respectively.18 Chemical and physical properties related to 195Pt NMR parameters for the M ) Pt species should have relevance in understanding the structurally similar M ) Ni and Pd species.17,19 1H, 13C, and 19F SSNMR experiments are also useful for the elucidation of molecular structure in diamagnetic systems; however, in the paramagnetic samples, where 195Pt SSNMR cannot be reliably applied, such experiments provide information on the delocalization of unpaired spin density in the molecular system (vide infra).20-25 195 Pt SSNMR spectroscopy has been used extensively to study a wide variety of materials, including semiconductors,26 electrocatalysts,27,28 and organometallic and inorganic compounds,29-33 as well as polycrystalline salts.31,34-38 The platinum chemical shift range is ca. 15 000 ppm,39,40 primarily due to the extremely polarizable valence orbitals of platinum atoms, which give rise to enormous platinum chemical shielding anisotropies (CSAs). As a result, the isotropic platinum chemical shift, δiso, and the anisotropic parameters, the span, Ω, and the skew, κ, are all extremely sensitive to relatively minor changes in bonding and structure (see Table 3 for definitions of these parameters). For instance, platinum spans are known to range from Ω ) 64 ppm in (NMe4)2PtF6, which has local cubic/ octahedral symmetry around the platinum, to Ω ≈ 10 500 ppm in K2PtCl4, which is square planar.34,36 For paramagnetic systems, the interactions between unpaired electron spin density and nuclear spins introduce two problems:

(i)powderpatternsareseverelybroadenedbylargeelectron-nuclear dipolar interactions, and/or (ii) the nuclear spin relaxation, T1, is dominated by the paramagnetic relaxation mechanism, and may be much faster than the response time of NMR spectrometer receivers. In both situations, acquisition of 195Pt SSNMR spectra is usually impossible.24,41 Alternatively, 1H, 13C, and 19F NMR experiments can reveal useful information on the molecular and electronic structure of paramagnetic species.20-25 The hyperfine interaction arising from unpaired electron spin density can extend the chemical shift range beyond that of the analogous diamagnetic species and prove to be very diagnostic in interpreting the electronic structure at the metal and in the surrounding molecular orbitals (MOs).23,42-50 Herein, we report the use of 195Pt, 13C, and 19F SSNMR spectroscopy, EPR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography to investigate molecular and electronic structures of the series [Pt(tfd)2]z-[NEt4]z+ (tfd ) S2C2(CF3)2; z ) 0, 1, 2) (Scheme 2), and follow up a preliminary account of our work on [Pt(tfd)2]0.17 The single-crystal X-ray structures of [Pt(tfd)2]0 and [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2 are presented.195Pt NMR spectroscopy is used to measure the platinum CS tensor parameters of the diamagnetic species ([Pt(tfd)2]0 and [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2). EPR spectroscopy is employed to determine the platinum g-tensor components of the paramagnetic species ([Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]). Variable-temperature (VT) 19F-13C CP/MAS and 19F MAS NMR spectroscopy are also utilized to determine the hyperfine constants in the paramagnetic species. Theoretical calculations are presented to provide insight into the origin of the CS and hyperfine interactions and their relationships to molecular and electronic structure. DFT calculations are utilized to examine both the orientations of the platinum and carbon chemical shielding tensors, and the MOs which largely define the characteristics of these tensors. First-principles calculations are also applied to calculate the platinum g-tensor and hyperfine interactions in the paramagnetic species. Experimental Section Sample Preparation. [Pt(tfd)2]0. The neutral (oxidized) form of [Pt(tfd)2]0 was prepared using the three-step procedure reported in the literature,51 starting from Pt(PPh3)4 (Strem Chemicals) and 1,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)dithietene, S2C2(CF3)2. 1,2-Bis(trifluoromethyl)dithietene was prepared according to Krespan’s52 procedure and freshly distilled before use. The product was purified using two sublimations under active vacuum, using a water-cooled coldfinger. The crude material did not sublime well: a thin film of green oil (likely due to [Pt(tfd)2]-) formed at the coldfinger. Such impurities were removed by extraction with dry hexane. The first sublimation was performed at 0.04 mbar between 65 and 90 °C. The second sublimation, which led to X-ray quality crystals, was also done at 0.04 mbar, and the temperature was slowly increased from

35 to 90 °C over a period of hours, until virtually all of the material used (300 mg) had sublimed. [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2. While previous literature51 reported the use of sodium amalgam to produce [Pt(tfd)2]2- and its precipitation as the tetraphenylarsonium salt, we decided to prepare [Pt(tfd)2]2- by reduction with LiAlH4 and to crystallize it as the tetraethylammonium salt: [Pt(tfd)2]0 was dissolved in a minimal amount of tetrahydrofuran (THF). A typical preparation involved 50 mg of [Pt(tfd)2]0 (0.077 mmol) in 2-3 mL of THF. Enough solid LiAlH4 was added to achieve a complete color change from dark blue to orange-yellow. This involved a slight excess of LiAlH4 (an equimolar amount, for the present 50 mg scale, consists of 3.0 mg of LiAlH4). The mixture was filtered through a short column of Celite. A saturated solution containing 2.5 equiv of Et4NCl (32 mg of Et4NCl for a preparation starting with 50 mg of [Pt(tfd)2]0) in EtOH/H2O (70% EtOH by volume) was slowly added, and the solvent was slowly removed under vacuum to near dryness. The product crystallized out as dark orange needles, one of which was chosen for the single-crystal X-ray structure determination. In order to obtain high yields of the product, it was necessary to reduce the volume to dryness to obtain crude product in quantitative yield and to recrystallize from i-PrOH/H2O (10:1 by volume). While the product crystallized as dark orange needles without cocrystallizate, the impure material contained colorless microcrystals (excess Et4NCl, chlorides and hydroxides/oxides of Li and Al) adhering to the orange needles. A sufficiently recrystallized sample, obtained after 2-3 recrystallizations, can be seen (by microscope) to exclusively contain well-formed dark-orange needles. The material was dissolved in a minimal amount of acetone, and the insoluble white powder was removed by filtration. An excess of i-PrOH/H2O (10:1 by volume) was added, the volume reduced under vacuum to near dryness, and the crystalline material collected by suction filtration. Yield, starting from 50 mg of [Pt(tfd)2]0, was 33 mg of [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2 (0.036 mmol, 47%). [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]. Comproportionation between [Pt(tfd)2]0 and [Pt(tfd)2]2- to yield [Pt(tfd)2]- occurs quantitatively according to [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2 + [Pt(tfd)2]0 f 2 [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]. 77.7 mg (0.120 mmol) of [Pt(tfd)2]0 was dissolved in a minimal amount of dry toluene. 109.0 mg (0.120 mmol) of [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2 was added, and the solution was stirred overnight. A deep red solution was obtained, the volume of which was slowly reduced to dryness under vacuum, yielding [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4] as dark red

Data were collected53 on a Nonius-Kappa CCD diffractometer using Mo KR (0.71073 Å) radiation at 150(1) K. Unit cell parameters were refined and data were reduced with Denzo-SMN.54 The absorption correction performed was semiempirical from equivalents. The structures were solved using direct methods55 and refined, full-matrix least-squares on F2, using SHELXTL V6.1.56 CIFs are available at http://pubs.acs.org. Solid-State NMR. Solid-state NMR experiments were performed on a Varian Infinity Plus NMR spectrometer with an Oxford 9.4 T (1H ) 400 MHz) wide-bore magnet operating at ν0(195Pt) ) 85.59 MHz, ν0(13C) ) 100.53 MHz, and ν0(19F) ) 376.10 MHz, using 2.5 and 4.0 mm HX MAS probes. For MAS and static (nonspinning) experiments, samples were packed in zirconia rotors. Air and/or moisture sensitive samples were packed under a dry N2 atmosphere and 4.0 mm o.d. rotors were sealed with airtight Teflon caps. 195Pt chemical shifts were referenced with respect to a 1.0 M solution of K2PtCl6 (δiso ) 0 ppm).31 19F chemical shifts were referenced with respect to CFCl3 (δiso ) 0 ppm) using Teflon as a secondary standard (δiso ) -122.0 ppm),57 and 13C chemical shifts were referenced to trimethylsilane (δiso ) 0 ppm) using adamantane as a secondary reference (δiso ) 38.57 ppm for the high-frequency resonance).58 For the static experiments, 195Pt NMR powder patterns were acquired by collecting spectra at variable transmitter offset frequencies,59-64 using the cross-polarization Carr-PurcellMeiboom-Gill (CP/CPMG) pulse sequence.65,66 818 MeiboomGill (MG) loops were used for both samples and the acquisition time (1/τa) was adjusted to attain a spikelet separation of 5 or 10 kHz. Thirteen to 18 subspectra, each with a spectral width of 200 kHz, were collected using an offset frequency of 30 kHz. 19 F-195Pt CP/CPMG experiments on [Pt(tfd)2]0 utilized a 19F π/2 pulse width of 2.5 µs, a contact time of 7.0 ms, a recycle delay of 6.0 s, 19F cross-polarization power (νCP) of 73.3 kHz, and 19F decoupling power (νdec) of 69.8 kHz. 1H-195Pt CP/

CPMG experiments were conducted on [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2, with a 1H π/2 pulse width of 3.75 µs, a contact time of 7.0 ms, a recycle delay of 3.0 s, νCP ) 84.4 kHz, and νdec ) 44.4 kHz. Multiple 195Pt MAS NMR experiments were performed using a Bloch decay pulse sequence. A π/2 pulse width of 1.0 or 1.25 µs, spectral width of ca. 1.0 MHz, and recycle delay of 90 s were employed to collect each experiment in ca. 1000 scans. 19 F MAS NMR experiments were performed using either a Bloch decay or a Hahn-echo pulse sequence. π/2 fluorine pulse widths were set to either 2.1 or 2.5 µs, and recycle delays between 0.2 and 6.0 s were used. 19F-13C CP MAS experiments were performed using the variable-amplitude CP (VACP) pulse sequence,67,68 with a two-pulse phase-modulation (TPPM) decoupling scheme.69 π/2 fluorine pulse widths of 2.5 or 4.5 µs, νCP of 70 kHz and νdec of 66.7 kHz were employed. VT NMR experiments were performed at temperatures ranging between -73 and 40 °C. A waiting period of 15 min between experiments was used to ensure temperature stabilization. νrot for the 13C and 19F MAS experiments were 15 and/or 16.5 kHz. The temperature changes in the probe due to frictional heating from sample spinning were measured using Sm2Sn2O7.70 A complete listing of all experimental parameters is given in the Supporting Information. EPR. Platinum electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments were acquired at room and liquid nitrogen temperatures using an X-band Bruker ESP 300E spectrometer. The

J. Phys. Chem. B, Vol. 113, No. 11, 2009 3301 microwave frequency was set to 9.79 GHz for room temperature and 9.45 GHz for liquid nitrogen temperature. A power of 10.02 mW was employed. NMR and EPR Simulations. NMR parameters were extracted from the static and MAS 195Pt NMR spectra using the WSolids software package71 and Herzfeld-Berger (HB) analysis,72 respectively. Numerical simulations were conducted using SIMPSON.73 EPR spectra were simulated with a program written in-house which uses a least-squares fitting SIMPLEX algorithm. Theoretical Calculations. Density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio calculations were performed on a dual-2.8 GHz Xeon Dell Precision 650 workstation, a dual-3.6 GHz Xeon Dell Precision 670n workstation, or the SHARCNET grid of highperformance clusters. DFT calculations were performed on [Pt(tfd)2]0 and [Pt(tfd)2]2- using the NMR program74 in the Amsterdam Density Functional (ADF) suite,75,76 which employs all-electron gauge including atomic orbitals (GIAO) basis sets for all atoms.77,78 A PtCl62- unit of Oh symmetry79,80 was used as the chemical shift reference (see Supporting Information for further details).80 Similar basis sets and methodologies were employed in calculations for PtCl62- where possible. Electron exchange and correlation functionals BLYP,81,82 VWN-BP,83-85 and VWN-rPBE86,87 were used in the calculations. For nonrelativistic calculations, the double-ζ (DZ) and triple-ζ polarized (TZP) basis sets were employed. Zeroth-order regular approximation (ZORA)88,89 was employed for all relativistic calculations with either a triple-ζ double-polarized (TZ2P) or quadruple-ζ quadruple-polarized (QZ4P) basis set on all atoms. Relativistic optimizations were conducted at the scalar relativistic level of theory and magnetic shielding calculations were done using full relativistic theory (i.e., including spin-orbit effects).90 Gaussian 0391 calculations were performed using the restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) method or the unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) methodologies for ab initio calculations and the hybrid functionals PW91VWN,83,92 B3LYP,82,93 and MPW1PW9194 were employed for DFT calculations. Huzinaga all-electron (432222/4222/423/3)95 or the Stuttgart RSC 1997 ECP96,97 basis sets were used on Pt while 3-21G*, 6-31G**, 6-311G**, 6-31++G**, or 6-311++G** basis sets were used on all other atoms. An optimized structure of the anion in [Pt(tfd)2][TTF]98 is used as a model for the [Pt(tfd)2]- species. Carbon chemical shielding tensors were calculated using the GIAO method77,78 and referenced with respect to CO (σref ) 187.1 ppm).99 Results and Discussion Solid-State Structures. Single crystals suitable for X-ray structural determinations were obtained for [Pt(tfd)2]0 and [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2. A crystallographic summary is shown in Table 1 and molecular structures for both solid-state structures are shown in Figure 1. Prior to our work,17 the only other crystallographically characterized form of [Pt(tfd)2]z was the monoanion [Pt(tfd)2]- with tetrathiafulvalinium cation.98 In the structure of [Pt(tfd)2]0, an analysis of the packing shows that molecular units are well separated, without any close contacts between molecules. Pt-Pt distances are very long (ca. 4.83 Å), ruling out interatomic bonding interactions. The closest intermolecular neighbor to each platinum center is a sulfur atom from a neighboring molecule, and at a distance of ca. 3.96 Å, there is no intermolecular Pt-S bonding. The crystal structure is important for the interpretation of the NMR data below, since close metal-metal contacts can be excluded, and solid-state NMR data can be interpreted in terms of intramolecular effects

only. Both structures have platinum centers coordinated in a planar fashion by four sulfur atoms, and the coordination environments are in fact perfectly planar, by virtue of crystallographic symmetry (note, that the [Pt(tfd)2]0 units have approximate D2h symmetry, or Ci symmetry when taking the CF3 groups into account). Deviations from ideal square geometry are due to bis-chelation resulting in intraring S-Pt-S angles that are smaller than the inter-ring S-Pt-S angles: for [Pt(tfd)2]0, 88.5° vs 91.5°, respectively, and for [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2, 89.0° vs 91.0°, respectively. Thus, the chelate bite angles of the dithiolene ligand are very similar in [Pt(tfd)2]0 and [Pt(tfd)2]2-, with a statistically significant but very small (0.5°) difference (Table 2). A look at the differences in bond lengths provides insight into the bonding situation. A summary of bond distances is shown in Figure 1, where crystallographically different but chemically identical bond distances have been averaged, and where the standard error of the mean (SEM) has been determined as the square root of the sum of the squared individual relative errors (95% confidence intervals, mean ( 2 SEM, are given). The dianionic complex has significantly longer Pt-S bonds and significantly longer C-S bonds compared to the charge-neutral complex. While a lengthening of bonds upon reduction is not unanticipated, a more unexpected trend is seen in the chelate C-C distances of the ligand, which shorten upon reduction. This C-C bond-shortening effect cannot be ascertained with 95% confidence since the “mean ( 2 SEM” intervals overlap (Figure 1), but still with 92% confidence (mean ( 1.77 SEM). A similar effect has been observed and treated theoretically in nickel bisdithiolene complexes by Lim, Fomitchev, and

Holm, where related literature observations are also discussed.6 Previous literature observations of this effect have only been marginally significant. Our independent observation herein strengthens the experimental basis for the theory that the C-C bond shortening upon reduction of a metal bisdithiolene is a real effect. This seemingly counterintuitive effect (a part of the ligand contracts upon reduction of the ligand) is correctly predicted by a resonance argument if the fully reduced complex is described as containing two dianionic ene-dithiolates (having true C-C double bonds) and the fully oxidized complex is described as a resonance hybrid involving both ene-dithiolate structures and dithioketone structures (Scheme 1 and Figure 1). Solid-State 195Pt NMR and EPR Spectroscopy. 195Pt NMR spectra of [Pt(tfd)2]0 and [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2 are shown in Figure 2. For [Pt(tfd)2]0 (Figure 2a), analytical simulations of the static QCPMG powder pattern envelope reveal δiso ) -4020(100) ppm, Ω ) 5850(200) ppm and κ ) 0.34(3). However, HB analysis of the spinning sideband manifold from the MAS spectra (Figure 2a(ii)) provides more accurate parameters (Table 3). It has long been established that the principal components of the CS tensor are constrained by molecular symmetry elements. Since [Pt(tfd)2]0 has approximate D2h symmetry, and since δ33 is the most distinct component, it is highly probable that δ33 is directed along the 2-fold rotational axis perpendicular to the molecular plane. δ11 and δ22 are constrained in the plane along two more 2-fold rotational axes/mirror planes, and are differentiated from one another by their unique environments; hence, the skew is positive and nonzero. In other square planar Pt complexes, the spans are typically large, ranging between ca. 3600 and 10400 ppm, and have highly axially symmetric CS tensors for the same reasons.33-35,65,100 Similar tensor parameters are observed for the square planar complexes: for instance, cis- and trans-(Et2S)2PtCl2 have Ω ) 6003 and 6405 ppm, and κ ) 0.62 and 0.63, respectively.100 The static and MAS 195Pt NMR spectra of [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2 (Figure 2b) reveal Ω is similar to that of the fully oxidized

complex (ca. 3800 ppm); however, κ is negative (-0.55), indicating that δ11 is the distinct principal component and directed perpendicular to the molecular plane. This is an interesting result, since [Pt(tfd)2]0 and [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2 are superficially similar in structure; the Pt-S, S-C, and C-C bond lengths change by less than 5% and the ∠(S-Pt-S), ∠(Pt-S-C), and ∠(S-C-C) bond angles change by less than 2% (Table 2). There clearly must be a substantial difference between the electronic structures of [Pt(tfd)2]0 and [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2; specifically, the character and energies of the MOs describing bonding between the Pt d-AOs and the dithiolene MOs must be disparate in these two complexes. These relationships are further explored in the computational section below. 195 Pt NMR spectra of [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4] could not be acquired because large hyperfine couplings (vide infra) between the unpaired electrons and platinum nuclei broaden the powder patterns beyond detection. However, EPR spectroscopy can be used in this case to examine the unpaired spin density. The EPR spectrum of the solid powder (Figure 3a) is asymmetric and most other studies of planar metal bisdithiolene complexes101-103 have assumed this to arise from only the asymmetry in the g-tensor. Maki and co-workers reported both an anisotropic 195Pt hyperfine interaction and g-tensor values of gx ) 2.210, gy ) 2.074, and gz ) 1.823 (from dilute glass) for [PtS4C4(CF3)4]-.51 Fitting our spectrum with a “least-squares” simulation program reveals an asymmetric g-tensor with principal tensor component values of gx ) 2.162(10), gy ) 2.036(25), and gz ) 1.870(10), which are in agreement with these data.51 In spite of the relatively good fit, these g values have relatively large errors because they do not take into account the anisotropic hyperfine interaction from 195Pt, and the EPR pattern is severely broadened by dipolar and spin exchange interactions. In an attempt to reduce the line widths and obtain better resolution, a spectrum of a frozen solution was taken; however, we were unsuccessful in obtaining quality EPR spectra due to the poor solubility of the monoanion. The g-tensor is oriented with the gz component directed perpendicular to the molecular plane and the gy and gx components bisecting the intra- and intermolecular ∠S-Pt-S bond angles, respectively. Typically for paramagnetic metal bisdithiolene compounds with d9 configurations, the g-tensor would be axially symmetric, as in the case for [Cu(S2C2(CN)2)2]2-.51 Since the g-tensor of [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4] is asymmetric, the unpaired electron spin density must be primarily delocalized on the ligands51,101-103 and the platinum metal center must have a d8 configuration as previously described by Ray et al.7 19 F-13C CP/MAS NMR Spectroscopy. Since [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4] is paramagnetic, 195Pt SSNMR experiments do not yield an observable signal. However, 13C and 19F SSNMR experiments should be useful for structural characterization, as unpaired spin density delocalized throughout the molecule can

result in large chemical shift changes in the 13C and 19F NMR spectra. In order to provide a basis for interpreting the 13C NMR data in the paramagnetic species, 19F-13C CP/MAS NMR spectra were acquired for the fully oxidized and fully reduced species as well (Figure 4). For [Pt(tfd)2]0, two resonances are observed at 122 and 170 ppm which are assigned to the trifluoromethyl and “ene” carbons, respectively. HB analysis of the spinning sideband manifold of the “ene” carbon reveal Ω and κ values of 205(8) ppm and -0.05(5), respectively. For [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2, the 13CF3 nucleus is less shielded (δiso ) 123 ppm); however, the “ene” 13C nuclei are more shielded, δiso ) 128 ppm, and have a smaller span and different skew (Ω ) 123(3) ppm and κ ) -0.30(8)) than the neutral species. The distinct CS tensor parameters indicate a change in the electronic structure of the “ene” carbons, and reflect the distinct CdC bond character in each species. This is discussed further in the computational section. Finally, the peaks at 53 and 7.1 ppm are from the CH2 and CH3 groups of the counterion NEt4+. The room-temperature 19F-13C VACP/MAS NMR spectra of [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4] are shown in Figure 4c. Resonances at 127, 54, and 7.8 ppm are associated with CF3, CH2, and CH3 groups, respectively, from trace amounts of the starting material, [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2. Based on 1H-13C VACP/MAS NMR experiments (Figure S2), the peaks at 34 and -3.9 ppm are assigned to the CH2 and CH3 groups of the counterion NEt4+. The broad resonance observed at -66 ppm is associated with the CF3 groups of the anion. A resonance corresponding to the “ene” carbons of monoanionic species does not appear in the spectrum, possibly due to a large hyperfine coupling, which would broaden the peak beyond detection (this is addressed below in the theoretical section). For [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4], the presence of electron spin density dramatically shifts the NMR resonances due to the hyperfine couplings. The total chemical shift (δtot) in paramagnetic systems can be broken down into δobs and δhf:104-106

δtot ) δobs + δhf ) δobs + δFC + δdip

(1)

where δobs is the observed chemical shift of the isostructural diamagnetic compound and δhf is the shift from the hyperfine interaction. δhf has two contributing terms: the Fermi contact shift, δFC, and the dipolar shift, δdip. In most cases involving 13 C and 1H nuclei in conjugated molecular systems, the dipolar interaction is much smaller than the Fermi contact interaction and is often ignored. The Fermi contact shift can be expressed as

where FRβ is the Fermi contact spin density, which is the probability of finding an unpaired electron at a given atom. The spin density is associated with a magnetic moment that is generated by an electron spin when in a magnetic field, B0. If the magnetic moment is oriented parallel to B0, then the spin density is termed R (or positive) and when it is antiparallel then it is termed β (or negative). When the spin density is delocalized from the metal orbitals to the ligand orbitals, hyperfine interactions occur giving rise to δhf, which is proportional to FRβ. For negative values of FRβ, the resonance moves to a lower frequency while a positive value moves the resonance to a higher frequency.24,104,107 Substituting eqs 2 and 3 into 1, and assuming δdip ≈ 0, the total chemical shift can be expressed as104-106

The CF3 13C chemical shift of [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4], with respect to the analogous diamagnetic species, is at lower frequency with a Fermi contact shift of ca. -189 ppm. The negative shift indicates that a negative electron spin density is present in the molecular orbitals of the CF3 groups. 19 F MAS NMR Spectroscopy. 19F MAS NMR spectra are shown in Figure 5. Two isotropic peaks are seen for [Pt(tfd)2]0 at -53 and -57 ppm. An earlier solution NMR study shows a single 19F NMR resonance at -58 ppm.51 In a [Pt(tfd)2]0 molecule with perfect D2h symmetry, the related intra- and

intermolecular ∠S-Pt-S and ∠Pt-S-C bond angles are identical (i.e., ∠Pt-S1-C1 ) ∠Pt-S2-C2). However, in the real system, these angles are slightly different from one another (Table 2), possibly accounting for the unique CF3 group environments. HB analysis of the spinning sideband manifold reveals a Ω value of ca. 56(2) ppm and κ value close to -1, for both fluorine sites. In [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4]2, a single resonance is observed at -53 ppm, signifying that the fluorine nuclei are in identical environments. [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4] has two distinct peaks at 38 and 14 ppm (Figure 5c), suggesting that the structure of the monoanion may be similar to [Pt(tfd)2]0. The high-frequency shifts relative to the resonances of the diamagnetic compounds correlate to positive electron spin densities and Fermi contact shifts of 92 and 67 ppm, respectively. The fluorine chemical shielding anisotropy is higher for [Pt(tfd)2][NEt4] (Ω ) 128(8) ppm), and κ remains axially symmetric (κ ) -1.0). Variable-Temperature NMR. 19F-13C VACP/MAS variable-temperature (VT) NMR spectra are shown in Figure 6. As the temperature increases, the chemical shift moves to higher frequency. The lowest frequency resonance, which corresponds to the CF3 carbons, moves from -79.7 ppm at +40 °C to -156.9 ppm at -73 °C, and the line width broadens from 1.28 to 3.03 kHz with decreasing temperature. The broadening of peaks may be due to slower motion of the CF3 groups, since typical rotational barrier energies of organic systems range between 2.5 and 4.5 kcal mol-1.108-111 According to eq 4, the spin density can be determined by plotting δtot as a function of 1/T (Figure 7a). The slope of the correlation line predicts FRβ to be approximately -1.5(1) × 10-3 au, with an R2 value of 0.979. The y-intercept as 1/T f 0 should equal the chemical shift observed for the diamagnetic equivalent species; however, the intercept is 76.5(16.3) ppm which is ca. 46 ppm less than the δiso(CF3) of the diamagnetic species. 19 F VT MAS NMR spectra of the paramagnetic species are shown in Figure 8. Two resonances are observed in the spectra which are denoted as F1 and F2 for the low- and high-frequency peaks, respectively. At higher temperatures (i.e., 40 °C) the

peaks are narrow (e.g., fwhh of ca. 1.6 kHz for F1). As the temperature decreases, the peaks broaden to ca. 3.9 kHz at -73 °C, again due to the much slower rotational motion of the CF3 groups. Plots of δtot against 1/T (Figure 7b,c) yield electron spin densities of 4.1(4) × 10-4 and 7.0(9) × 10-4 au (R2 ) 0.971 and 0.951) for sites F1 and F2, respectively. The y-intercepts at 1/T f 0 from the best linear fits predict that the diamagnetic complex should have a δiso for sites 1 and 2 of -30.2(5.1) ppm and -36.0(11.5) ppm which is in reasonable agreement with the experimentally observed δiso of ca. -54 ppm. The differences between experimentally observed values of δiso(13C) and δiso(19F) with those obtained from linear regression fits of the VT data can certainly not be explained by the small spin-dipolar contributions (see calculations below); differences may arise from some other source of temperature-dependent chemical shift changes, though the precise nature of these dynamics is not understood at this time. Computational Studies of NMR and EPR Parameters. To gain a better understanding of the relationships between the molecular structures in the [Pt(tfd)2]z– series and the experimentally determined NMR and EPR parameters, first-principles calculations were performed using the Amsterdam Density Functional (ADF) and the Gaussian 03 (G03) computational suites, respectively. Various methods and basis sets were employed in an attempt to obtain consistent agreement between experimentally measured and theoretically calculated CSA parameters and paramagnetic chemical shifts. The first part of this section focuses on predicting platinum CS tensor parameters, and the major shielding contributions from individual molecular orbitals (MOs). Next, theoretically predicted platinum g-tensor values are discussed. The final section discusses theoretically calculated hyperfine interactions and their influences on observed carbon and fluorine chemical shifts. Platinum CS Tensor Calculations. Platinum ADF calculations are shown in Table 4. Nonrelativistic (NR) calculations on [Pt(tfd)2]0 produced isotropic chemical shift values that are in relatively good agreement with the experimental values. Ω and κ values are consistent across all basis sets, but Ω are underestimated with respect to experimental values by 1600-1700 ppm, and κ are overestimated. This means that theoretical skews are too positive: calculations predict δ11 and δ22 to be in very similar electronic environments, which is not the case. Similar calculations on [Pt(tfd)2]2- predict values of Ω and κ which

are in good agreement with experimental data; however, δiso is underestimated by between ca. 500 and 1400 ppm. Slight improvements in the calculations for the fully oxidized compound ([Pt(tfd)2]0) are observed by incorporating relativistic effects via the zeroth-order regular approximation (ZORA).88,89 For [Pt(tfd)2]0, the isotropic chemical shifts and skews are in much better agreement with experimental values. Ω values are now overestimated, but closer to experimental values. Interestingly, for [Pt(tfd)2]2-, ZORA calculations do not significantly improve agreement between experimental and theoretical values. Two important contributions in relativistic calculations of chemical shielding of heavy atoms are the scalar and spin-orbit (SO) coupling terms. In a closed-shell system, as in the [Pt(tfd)2]2- species, the SO coupling is insignificant compared to scalar relativistic effects since the total orbital angular momentum is small.112-114 Hence, the ZORA calculations are dominated by the scalar contribution making them similar to a nonrelativistic calculation. The platinum CS tensor orientations for [Pt(tfd)2]0 and [Pt(tfd)2]2- from the VWN+BP/TZP-Pt(4d) ADF calculations are shown in Figure 9. As hypothesized from the experimental results, σ33 is perpendicular to the molecular plane in [Pt(tfd)2]0, and σ11 is perpendicular to the molecular plane in [Pt(tfd)2]2-, despite the structural similarity of these two molecular units. Attempts to calculate the 195Pt CS tensor parameters using G03 were unsuccessful and will not be discussed further (see Table S6 of the Supporting Information for sample data). The disparate CS tensor orientations warrant further consideration, and a full analysis of contributing MOs using ADF software is presented in the following section. MO Analysis. According to the formalism of Ramsey, the total magnetic shielding at a nucleus can be arbitrarily broken into diamagnetic and paramagnetic terms, σ ) σd + σp.115-117 The diamagnetic and paramagnetic terms arise from the magnetically induced circulation of electrons in ground-state MOs and magnetically induced mixing of ground-state and excited-state MOs, respectively. In most cases involving transition metals, the paramagnetic term tends to be the largest contributor to the total shielding tensor. Under the treatment of Ziegler and co-workers, which is functionally quite different from the original Ramsey treatment, the paramagnetic term can be broken down further into contributions from mixing of occupied (occ) MOs (σp(occ-occ)) and mixing of occupied and

virtual (vir) MOs (σp(occ-vir)).74,118 In the case of platinum, the latter terms are dominant, and discussion is therefore largely restricted to these terms. Complete descriptions of the ADF methodology can be found in other sources.74,118-122 A pair of MOs can be induced to mix by a magnetic field and contribute to chemical shielding if the following three-center integral is nonzero:

〈φb |Lˆn |φa〉 )

∫ φbLˆnφa dτ * 0

(5)

where φb and φa are single-electron MOs and Lˆn is an angular momentum operator (n ) x, y, z). Such integrals can be evaluated qualitatively as being zero or nonzero using symmetry arguments, though the actual magnitude of the contribution, which is dependent upon both the degree of overlap of the two orbitals and their energy difference, must be obtained from explicit calculations.123 The three-center integrand in eq 5 can be evaluated by taking the direct product of the irreducible representations (IRs) of the MOs and rotational operators of the appropriate point group.123 The integrand is nonzero if

Γ(φb) X Γ(Lˆn) X Γ(φa) ⊇ A

(6)

If the above equation holds, then the contribution to σp is symmetry allowed.124 As an example, consider the MO pair 9B3g

where Γ(Rx), Γ(Ry), and Γ(Rz) are IRs of the angular momentum operators that describe rotations about the x-, y-, and z-axes, respectively. The cross-product that evaluates to the totally symmetric representation (i.e., Ag) indicates that symmetryallowed mixing of the two MOs only occurs with Lˆz. Therefore, the paramagnetic shielding contribution from this MO pair is directed toward the CS tensor component along the z-axis. Contributions of the mixing occ and vir MOs are summarized in Tables 5 and 6. For [Pt(tfd)2]0, of the 24 MO pairs that account for 49% (Table S7) of the total paramagnetic shielding contribution, the six major contributors (21% of σp) are shown in Table 5. According to the calculations, the largest shielding contribution comes from 9B3g T 10B*2g (T denotes orbital mixing) where ∆E ) 1.78 eV (Figure 10). As mentioned earlier, the 9B3g and 10B*2g MOs are mixed with an Lˆz angular momentum operator of B1g symmetry, resulting in a large shielding contribution of 2951.3 ppm along the z-direction (perpendicular to the molecular plane), which is also the direction of σ33. Under an arbitrary convention of right-handed rotation, this is the result of destructive overlap between these two MOs (i.e., red lobes overlap with yellow, and vice versa). The only large deshielding contributions are predicted in the molecular plane along the x and y directions. For instance, the 21Ag and 10B*2g MOs are mixed with an Lˆy angular momentum operator of B2g symmetry, which results in constructive overlap (red on red, yellow on yellow), and produces a large deshielding contribution of -1844.6 ppm along the σ11 direction. [Pt(tfd)2]2- has seven major MO pairs that make up 40% of the total σp (Table 6). Unlike the case of [Pt(tfd)2]0, paramagnetic deshielding contributions dominate the direction perpendicular to the molecular plane, resulting in σ11 being oriented along

the z-direction. For instance, there is a large deshielding contribution (-2186.0 ppm) from 10B2g T10B*3g (∆E ) 2.08 eV) that is perpendicular to the molecular plane. The large deshielding contribution along the z-axis is similar to other square planar platinum complexes with negative skew values.125,126 There are fewer paramagnetic deshielding contributions in the plane, and even a significant shielding contribution (932.8 ppm), from 10B2g T 20B*1g (∆E ) 2.01 eV), parallel to the x-axis along the σ33 direction (Figure 11). The different CS tensor orientations in the diamagnetic species results from changes in their MO configurations. One can consider individual MOs, as well as their pairings, and note that changes in energy of key MOs can have profound influences on the nature of the CS tensor. For instance, one of the most significant differences is at the HOMO and LUMO levels. In [Pt(tfd)2]0, the 10B*2g LUMO is involved in significant deshielding contributions along the molecular y-axis (σ11) and shielding

along the z-axis (σ33). The MO with the same symmetry in [Pt(tfd)2]2- occupies an important position as the HOMO, and now has a major role in a deshielding contribution along the z-axis (σ11) and shielding along the x-axis (σ33). In [Pt(tfd)2]2-, the 20B*1g is the LUMO (it is the LUMO+1 in [Pt(tfd)2]0) and is involved in large deshielding contributions along z and y (σ11 and σ22), and a shielding contribution along x (σ33), while the contributions of the 20B*1g MO in [Pt(tfd)2]0 are quite distinct. Finally, the 21Ag occ MO in [Pt(tfd)2]0 is relatively high in energy and is involved in two major deshielding contributions along both the y- and z-axes (σ11 and σ33, respectively); however, in the [Pt(tfd)2]2- species, 21Ag is only involved in one major shielding contribution along the z-axis (σ11); this is because the 10B2g is now the HOMO and is not available for a large occ-vir contribution. Changes in electronic configuration, which are largely localized in the valence MOs of the bisdithiolene ligands (Tables S9 and S10), lead to significant changes in shielding

agreement with the experimental results. Calculated gx, gy, and gz values are within 4.0, 7.0, and 0.3% of the experimental values. Relativistic effects were also examined using ADF ZORA calculations. The best ADF result was obtained while employing the VWN+BP method with a triple-ζ doublepolarized basis set.

symmetric tensor with a smaller anisotropy, inconsistent with experimental results. Carbon CS Tensor Calculations. Results from G03 calculations of the carbon CS tensors of the [Pt(tfd)2] and [Pt(tfd)2]2“ene” carbons are shown in Table 8 and Table S11. For the former, all calculations predict the Ω and κ values to be ca. 200 ppm and close to zero, respectively, in good agreement with the experimental results. The pure DFT method (PW91VWN) and the hybrid methods (B3LYP and MPW1PW91) most accurately estimate the CS tensor parameters. For the latter, PW91VWN, B3LYP, and MPW1PW91 calculations produced values of Ω and κ closest to experimental results (Table 8). A similar trend in the Ω and κ values between the neutral and dianionic species were also predicted in similar calculations with ADF (Table 8). Though the CdC bond lengths in the neutral (1.38 Å) and dianionic (1.35 Å) species are similar, the experimental and theoretical carbon CS tensors indicate that the electronic structure of the dithiolene ligands is extremely different. While the dianion has a δiso for the ene carbons similar to that of typical olefinic carbons, the span is considerably smaller by comparison. On the other hand, the neutral species has an atypical value of δiso, but a span consistent with typical CdC carbons. Theoretically calculated carbon CS tensor orientations and an analysis of key MOs contributing to the CS tensors can lend insight into these differences. In both species, the most shielded component of the CS tensors, σ33, is oriented perpendicular to the molecular plane. In [Pt(tfd)2]2-, σ22 is aligned close to the CdC bond axis, while in [Pt(tfd)2]0, σ11 is aligned near the C-CF3 bond axis (Figure 12). Major influences on both carbon CS tensors come from paramagnetic shielding contributions arising from mixing of occupied and virtual MOs (Table 9). If the [Pt(tfd)2]0 and [Pt(tfd)2]2- species are regarded as having D2h symmetry, then angular momentum operators with the symmetry representations Γ (Rx) ) B3g, Γ (Ry) ) B2g and Γ (Rz) ) B1g will determine contributions along the x, y, and z directions. In [Pt(tfd)2]2-, there are a number of significant contributions from mixing of Ag-B*3g or B3u-A*u and B1g-B*3g or B2u-A*2u MO pairs that contribute dominantly to either σ11 or σ22, respectively, due to the close alignment of these components to the x and y rotational axes. The neutral species also has similar paramagnetic shielding contributions from MO pairs of matching symmetry; however,

there are a larger number of contributing MO pairs due to closer energy spacings between these states. In addition, some of the MO pairs in [Pt(tfd)2]0 contribute simultaneously to σ11 and σ22, revealing their diverse characters. Both of these factors account for larger Ω in the neutral species and the distinct carbon CS tensor orientations at the ene carbons. Hyperfine Shift Calculations. Theoretical calculations using both G03 and ADF were performed on the [Pt(tfd)2]- radical anion in order to predict the carbon hyperfine shifts of the CF3 groups (Table 10). All G03 calculations predicted a negative spin density on the trifluoromethyl carbons, in agreement with the experimental 19F-13C VTCP/MAS results. Using the pure DFT method PW91VWN in G03 produced the best results. When hybrid methods B3LYP and MPW1PW91 are employed, FRβ values were correctly estimated; however, δobs was underestimated. All calculations using UHF underestimated the spin density by an order of magnitude and δobs by as much as 49 ppm. Dipolar shifts were also calculated, and as discussed earlier, are not significant contributors to the total chemical shift. Inclusion of relativistic effects had little influence on the calculated hyperfine shifts, as demonstrated by ADF ZORA calculations (Table 10). G03 calculations also predict relatively large spin densities on the “ene” carbons which are nearly double that of the trifluoro carbons for most methods (Table S12), confirming that large hyperfine interactions are present which likely render the 13C NMR signal unobservable. Unfortunately, a qualitative comparison of the theoretical 19F hyperfine shifts to the experimental values cannot be made at this time, since the stationary (i.e., nonrotating) model of the CF3 groups used in the calculations are not representative of the true solid-state structure. The hyperfine interaction is geometrically dependent, so using fixed atoms for the calculations does not provide a true representation of the fluorine atoms in the solid structure, and the theoretical results are unreliable (Table S13) and therefore will not be discussed further. Electronic Structure. For ligands directly associated with the π-system of paramagnetic complexes, information on the spin density can be obtained. It is well-known that when spin density is delocalized from the metal d orbitals to the ligands through the ligand π-system, it can influence the spin density of the ligands through spin polarization.24,107,127 In cases where a ligand is σ-bonded to the molecular framework containing the delocalized π-system, sign inversion (changing from positive to negative spin density and vice versa) of the spin occurs in the ligand and can continue through the ligand by consecutive polarization of σ bonds or by direct polarization through the spin of the skeletal π orbital (Scheme 3). The NMR and theoretical results both predict negative and positive spin densities of the trifluoromethyl carbon and fluorine atoms, respectively, and are consistent with spin delocalization trends for nuclei of substituents coordinated to π ligands (i.e., dithiolene ring) of paramagnetic complexes. Experimental and theoretical results also indicate that positive spin density is largely delocalized in the π-system of the

[Pt(tfd)2]- dithiolene rings, in line with the small hyperfine shifts of the CF3 13C and 19F nuclei, the platinum g-tensor, as well as ring 13C signals which are not observed due to the large hyperfine interactions of the “ene” carbons (Table S11). This is seen in the spin density plot (Figure 13a) which resembles the contour plot of the 10B2g MO (SOMO) which is primarily composed of R spins (Figure 13b). This MO has no significant contribution from the CF3 groups and is primarily (>80%) pz(S) in character, confirming that the ligand (not the metal) accepts the electron in the reduction of [Pt(tfd)2]0 to [Pt(tfd)2]-. Conclusions We have demonstrated that solid-state NMR data, in conjunction with first-principles calculations, are valuable for characterizing the molecular electronic structures of the compounds in the [Pt(tfd)2]z– series; notably, the number of electrons in and nature of the π-MOs have enormous influences on the observed NMR spectra. Extremely broad 195Pt NMR spectra were measured for the diamagnetic species, revealing platinum CS tensors with distinct symmetries. A theoretical analysis of the MO pairs making major contributions to platinum chemical shielding demonstrates that the disparate CS tensors arise from variations in valence MO populations and character and not from superficial geometrical changes. 13C and 19F MAS NMR experiments aid in examining the structure of all three compounds. In particular, the paramagnetic monoanionic species was studied with VT NMR experiments, and the electron spin

densities at 13C and 19F were measured experimentally. The asymmetric g-tensor and the small hyperfine couplings at the CF3 13C and 19F nuclei suggest that the spin density is primarily delocalized on the dithiolene ring (S2C2). This is confirmed by measurement of the platinum g-tensor by EPR spectroscopy. Theoretical calculations of the g-tensor components and the spin densities are in excellent agreement with experimental values. The calculations predict that reduction of [Pt(tfd)2]0 to [Pt(tfd)2]2- principally involves the SOMO, which is high in pz(S) character. Given the sensitivity of NMR/EPR parameters to changes in the electronic configuration, and our new understanding of correlations between these parameters and electronic structure, 195Pt NMR of diamagnetic compounds and 13C and 19 F NMR of paramagnetic species will aid in probing the interaction of olefins with the [Pt(tfd)2]0 species, providing fundamental information for future design and application of these systems in olefin purification.
